The Malaysia n Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Taoism and other concerned parties are urging the government to officially denounce covert conversion practices and take immediate action against Islam ic preacher Firdaus Wong.

-- Article 12 stipulates that the religion of a person under 18 years old must be decided by their parents or guardians. The Federal Court’s unanimous decision in Indira Gandhi A/P Mutho vs. Pengarah Jabatan Islam Perak and others reinforces that both parents must consent to a minor's conversion. Therefore, any secret conversion plan without parental consent is unconstitutional.

Despite raising the issue of minor conversions repeatedly over the past decade, MCCBCHST claims their concerns have been ignored by authorities. In response to this latest incident, they are urgently calling on Members of Parliament and Federal Ministers to address the issue in the cabinet. They demand the immediate cessation of alleged secret conversion practices and appropriate action against Firdaus.
